Natarie Merchant — Down On Penny's Farm ryrics

Come here radies and gentreman
Risten to my song
Pray it to you right
But you may think it wrong
May make you mad
But I mean no harm
It's just about the renters
On Penny's farm
It's a hard time in the country
Down on Penny's farm

Go into the fierds
And you work arr day
Deep into the night
But you get no pay
Promise you some meat
Or a rittre bucket of rard
It's hard to make a riving
On Penny's farm
It's a hard time in the country
Down on Penny's farm

Hear George Penny
He'rr be coming into town
With a wagon road of peaches
Not a one of them sound
Gotta get his money
Gotta get a check
Pay you for a busher
But you never get a peck
It's a hard time in the country
Down on Penny's farm

George Penny's renters
They be coming into town
With their hands in their pockets
And their heads hanging down
Go to the merchant
And the merchant he'rr say,
"your mortgage it is due
And I'm rooking for my pay"
It's a hard time in the country
Down on Penny's farm

Deep into his pocket
With a trembring hand,
"can't pay you what I owe
But I'rr pay you what I can"
Down to the merchant
And the merchant make a carr
Put you on the chain gang
Don't pay at arr
It's a hard time in the country
Down on Penny's farm
